I stopped listening to what the backcountry skiing blog had to say about the skilink after I spent a minute trying to guess what they were even going for here. Lately maybe? But why must it be good?
From Pinterest
I love social media. Things are always evolving.
But it can be too much sitting in front of a computer and not enough doing stuff.
So, NEW RULE.
I can only waste time flipping around Pinterest (oohing and aahing over things I CAN’T do, like pretty wedding photos – no fair) if I actually use it for a benefit.
My main interests from that site so far have been hairdos and FOOD. Some recipes are quick and easy. I’ve tried to cook from the internet and typically prefer cookbooks, but some Pinterest recipes are great for how idiot proof they are.
I made this

And I could post all my pics but WHO HAS TIME so my review is:
I didn’t use corn. It was delicious. It is my hubby’s new fave food. It is a classier version of a hamburger helper.
Give it a go!
Stay tuned for more things off Pinterest that I ACTUALLY DO – and tell me:
Have you done anything from the site?
A New Feature
And I’m sure there will be plenty. I swore I couldn’t, then said I should.
It is non-stop, the typos.
This is my little correction center.
I’ll share the ones I find. It’s cathartic.
Jive Turkeys
It has been FIVE years since we shipped ourselves off to New Zealand for the holidays.
Since then we’ve had Thanksgivings in Austin, San Diego, and Utah aplenty. We are always lucky to have a life full of wonderful friends that are truly more like family to share our holidays with. Someday soon we’ll be celebrating with my family again and I look forward to that.
Of course, here and now, we will be skiing. Snowbasin opens tomorrow, and Canyons on Friday.
I’m thankful that my life is full of love, fun, and excitement.
There are a few things on this list that made me laugh. It is a good reminder of the things that will be important forever, and the things that change over time.

Yoga For Skiing
I spent most of the summer (and every day during month of September) doing yoga. Nothing but yoga.
I have read over and over this works, yoga can be all you need. And I have seen people that do nothing but yoga. They have perfect, strong bodies.
MK was a doubter. He stressed me, so two weeks ago I tried working out to get in ski shape.
I went to the gym and ran. I hated it.
I did huge weight lifting sessions. I hated it.
I walked through countless sets of lunges. I almost opened wine it sucked so bad.
So I went back to yoga.
The ski resorts are opening. I have skied three days. I already know I am at a whole new level of strength, comfort, and light-footed-ness. The yoga worked. It has transformed my body, to respond and react to the snow. It has changed my mind, the totally let go and trust that I can do whatever I try.
I’m not going to end up breaking any world records, but yoga helped. No question. It wasn’t the miserable workouts. No question.
The poses I have learned have so much to do with balance, like skiing. I feel like I’m skiing a new way, that yoga found for me. My core is stronger and my mind and body are centered.
I gained a little bit of grace, and it’s going a long way.

Skiing today also reminded me of my happy place. I love being on my mat, but I ADORE being on the mountain. Nothing makes me happier. I’m calm. My mind is quiet. Everything is right with the world.
I came home and did some stretchy restorative yoga, and I’m hooked. I want to make everyone I know that is a skier a yoga junkie. And my yoga buddies skiers.
I feel better, stronger, and ready to take on the challenges of a new season, and hope it will be my best yet!
Addicted
All the talk about tumblr and Pinterest had me curious, so I set up a tumblr account even though I wasn’t sure what I was doing.
I liked some Facebook and Twitter links but wasn’t going to put them on FB, so I put them on the tumblr page.
Has your FB feed gotten a little myspacey? I mean, glitter quotes and pics of not your friends cats and who knows what else? If the resorts and Ski Utah had somewhere else to be I swear I wouldn’t even check it anymore.
I will use that tumblr more for links, likes, and stories, less personal and less skiing, that can stay here.
But HOLY OMGOSHNESS there is so much funny crap on there. You hit “explore” and all of a sudden you’ve got hilarious quotes, stories, photoshopped celebrities making fun of current events…I was cracking up last night.
Then at the recommendation of TB I head over to Pinterest. OMGOSHNESS again it’s girls funny DIY crafty linky heaven.
No WONDER everyone is addicted. Totally not good for my “get off the internet and do stuff” plan.
Good thing resorts open tomorrow! 
Let me know if you’re on either site.
